“They took amazing care of my dog for over two weeks! Daily walks and lots of picture updates every day. He looked happy and well taken care of. Very satisfied and would highly recommend!”
“This was the first time leaving Cher Chee anywhere except a Kennel. Margie made me feel relaxed and Chee Chee took to her right away. We were gone a week and I felt certain she was in good hands. I will definitely use her again.”
“Michelle was very pleasant and patient with my dog, who is not accustomed to people outside of our family. When we arrived, she made sure she understood all of our preferences regarding eating, sleeping, and socializing. Throughout our time away, she sent pictures and text updates on how my dog was adjusting. When we picked Max up, he was clean, calm, and doing great overall. A great experience!”
“Callie really, really enjoyed her vacation with these folks. It was her first time away and Nicole’s children treated her as their own. Great experience, thanks”
“Fantastic environment for King as he enjoys himself and feels like home. They really take care of your pets and I will continue to use them in the future.”
“I really do appreciate Nick! He always comes through when it comes to Mateo. I recently had surgery and had to come back down to Columbia, and he was able to take Mateo for me so I could have some time to adjust to my recovery. I’m forever grateful for him! He communicates so well, sends pictures, keeps you updated, and always lets you know what’s going on. He’s truly everything you could want in someone taking care of your dog, and I always feel comfortable knowing Mateo is with him.”
“Very flexible and helped me with a last minute need for my 2 dogs. The dogs came back smiling and happy and seemed to enjoy their stay. We will be scheduling in the future!!!!!!”
“Lexie is the best!! She is our go-to sitter in Columbia. She’s very attentive to both of our dogs and goes out of her way to ensure they get safe socialization with the other dogs. She even gave them a special treat for Thanksgiving. I can tell that they enjoy staying with her and the other dogs based on their excitement when we pick them up. Thank you for everything, Lexie!!”
“Cory & Stacey are wonderful! They kept my 100+lb lab for three nights recently and were and absolute pleasure to work with. This team was not only accommodating to my big boy, but they were great about sending pics and updates- allowing me to vacation with family worry-free. Having used commercial kennels previously, this was my first experience using Rover or sitters. What a great discovery! I would highly recommend the duo of Cory & Stacey to anyone that needs overnight pet accommodations! You guys rock!! Thanks for a great experience!!”
“Kathy took excellent care of our 2 dogs over the holiday weekend! They got lots of playtime and outside time, and they were both nice and tired by the time we picked them up! She sent a couple of pictures and a couple of updates. Just enough to let us know our dogs were doing well. One of my dogs is older with some arthritis, and she made sure he got all of his medicines and had a safe space to rest when he got tired out. Would definitely recommend!”
“Karen is an exceptional Rover sitter. She made my anxious pup feel truly loved and at ease. Karen ensured our baby got plenty of exercise with frequent walks and took exceptional care of him during our recent trip. I highly recommend her.”
“We went out of town and there was an incident and needed someone to pick up our pooch asap. I reached out to Stacey and she made it happen, for the whole week AND leading into Easter. Our boy was in great hands and we can tell he was well cared for. She was quick to reply and went out of her way to help us. I was actually able to relax and enjoy our vacation because of her. We’ll definitely continue to use her:-)”
About: What sets me apart is the personalized care and attention I give every pet. I work from home full-time, so your pet won't be left alone for long periods and will have plenty of companionship, supervision, and opportunities for potty breaks, playtime, and cuddles throughout the day. I take the time to learn each pet's routine, personality, and preferences so they feel comfortable and secure while you're away. Whether your pet enjoys long walks, playing fetch, or simply relaxing nearby while I work, I'll make sure they receive the attention and care they deserve. I also know how important it is to stay connected while you're away. You'll receive regular updates, photos, and messages so you can relax knowing your pet is happy, safe, and in good hands. My goal is to make your pet's stay feel like a home away from home while giving you complete peace of mind. I work from home, so I'll be available all day to supervise and care for your pet. We'll enjoy playtime throughout the day, along with morning and evening walks, weather permitting. I have a fenced-in yard and a 6-year-old female American Staffy named Lilly. Lilly is very social and gets along great with other dogs and even cats.
“Aiko is the best! Sometimes it can be hard for my puppy to get adjusted to someone new, but she felt at home with Aiko pretty quickly! When I picked her up the first time, she was content and well-rested. I really appreciate Aiko's communication with updates and pictures throughout her stay. Your pet is in great hands if you’re blessed to be able to book with her!”
“Jenny was so wonderful with our very anxious and scared dog. He ended up having a great time hanging out with Jenny and Marshall! We would highly recommend Jenny!”
“This is the first time I had to leave my pup for a week with someone who was not related to me. I cannot describe how amazing Celia was! The entire experience was delightful for both Joon and myself! I received daily updates including fun pictures and captions and felt extremely comfortable with my decision during my entire vacation. Thank you so much Celia!!”

Bokyung is truly one of the most responsible and caring sitters I’ve ever met!🌷🌷❤️❤️ Dun Dun is a very high-energy puppy who needs a lot of interaction, playtime, and attention, and Bokyung did an amazing job meeting all of her needs.❤️ She was incredibly patient, attentive, and clearly experienced with dogs! Dun Dun was happy, well cared for, and clearly had a great time. I really appreciated the updates lovely photos and videos and how thoughtful Bokyung was throughout the stay. Her mini Aussie, Bean, is also absolutely adorable! very friendly and sweet and Dun Dun got along wonderfully with her. It was such a relief knowing Dun Dun was in such a loving and engaging environment. I would highly recommend Bokyung to anyone! We would absolutely love to book with her again!
Patricia is an excellent care taker! Buster was so happy being with her. She gave lots of great updates and little videos. The pictures she sent showed us that he was as comfortable at her house as he is at home. Buster is a little more needy with his care because he is a senior dog now. Patricia had no problem feeding him by hand to help him. I highly recommend using Patricia for your boarding needs.

Every sitter on Rover has their own routine. Depending on the arrangements you agree on before the stay, a sitter can follow your dog’s regular feeding schedule, provide a comfortable place to sleep, offer companionship, and support their usual exercise and play needs.
95% of sitters in Lexington can provide daily exercise during dog boarding stays. Depending on the sitter, their home environment, and your dog’s needs, this may include walks, outdoor play, indoor enrichment activities, or supervised play with compatible dogs. These activities are not automatically included with every booking, so ask the sitter what a typical day looks like.
During the Meet & Greet, discuss your dog’s usual exercise and play routine, whether they can safely interact with other dogs, and any activities or restrictions the sitter should follow. You can also ask the sitter to send photo and message updates during the stay so you can see how your dog is spending their time.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Lexington home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Lexington.
<b>Tip:</b> You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Lexington sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to 25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in SC ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
